FOUR PAGES mmMSkmM BASKETBALL STARTS; WINTER QUARTER BRINGS North Weber Stake's Quota Almost Filled On Wednesday, November 14, at the semi-annual meeting of the Board of Trustees it was moved that the stakes of Zion situated in this district should use their influence in increasing the enrollment of Weber College to 300 students by December 3, at the beginning- of the Winter Quarter. In the case of North Weber Stake the quota agreed on was 46 students. This figure is rapidly being reached. During the first two days of registration ten new students from that stake were registered. The total number of students now enrolled from the North Weber Stake is 43, and we are expecting that by the close of the first week of registration the original quota of 46 will be passed. This increase of over 100 per cent from the North Weber Stake is decidedly encouraging. If every stake would take upon itself to come through with a 100 per cent increase the Board then would experience no difficulty in getting over 300 students for the Winter Quarter. Dr. Spaeth Talks On Music Appreciation Weber students were privileged to hear a very interesting lecture last week in the College auditorium on the subject of music. Dr. Spaeth, a graduate of Cornell University, who has received his doctor's degree in music, delivered a short speech, then entertained with piano selections on the "Ampico" and several humorous songs. Dr. Spaeth's remarks were prefaced by the story of the young boy from the Bron-yx, who was intent upon dividing the syllables in the words "cynic" and "stoic". He explained that he did not wish to discuss the subject from the standpoint of either the cynic or the stoic. According to Dr. Spaeth, we all respond in some way to music. We should therefore get a common sense view of it. He admitted that he was more interested in the people who professed to know nothing of music, than in those who had a definite appreciation.He explained how those who wished to develop this universal sense of music might take a tip from the advertising man in popularizing music. He suggested a slogan such as "Music eventually, why not now?" or some other as equally snappy that would soon make music as much talked of as the Ivory-Soap, "It Floats" or Wrig-lev's" "The Flavor Lasts." To those who do not know much about music, the point which supplies the contact between the known and the unknown, is the tune, or melody. Therefore, in illustrating this point, Dr. Spaeth proceeded with a scries of what he termed "psychological experiments" showing that music is after all just a simple melody harmonized in a theme. "Nearly all popular music today and many of the songs which are considered slightly (Continued on Page 4) WEBER GR1DDERS RECEIVE HONORS Three former Weber gridiron stars were accorded high state honors in football. Jack Croft, the captain of the Utah Aggies was given the right tackle position on the all state machine. Croft was one of the first Weber twinklers to don the moleskins in the Ogden division for the Purple and White. He has been on the A. C. Varsity three years. Fred Hinckley of the B. Y. U. was chosen all-state center although but a sophomore at the Provo school. Hinckley was all-state center for the High School class in 1921 when he played his second year as pivot for the Ogden College. Phil Jeppson was the third Weber man to gain the all-state eleven. He has been on the U. of U. Varsity squad two seasons playing end this year. The fine work of these men at the three state colleges shows the class of plaj'ers which Weber College turns out. We are proud of the records made by former students of the school. Pres. Henderson Speaks To Weber Students Pres. Henderson, of the B. Y. C. and former principal of the Weber Academy spoke to the students during devotional exercises. He told them some of the experiences that he had while head of this institution.Speaking of the Gymnasium he said: "The thing which pleases me most is to see the new Weber Gym. While I was here we worked hard to obtain it, but it is good that we did not build it then, because our idea of a gymnasium was far too small. "This Gym will be a great factor in raising the educational standards of this community. Speaking on the subject of education he said, "If we could project our thots forward for 100 years and ask the future generation what they think of us they would say that we were an education loving people. "We spend more money, we consume more wealth for educational purposes than we do for anything else. We believe that we can best preserve peace and make progress by building up facilities for properly training the people." He explained that education is an investment given in this generation, which will bring returns in the next. He stated that true education prepares people to serve their fellows and cited Dr. Stein-mctz as a real example of service. In conclusion Dr. Henderson urged the students to always uphold and sustain the fine standards and high ideals of the Weber College. A girl may wear artificial eyelashes but the wink still comes natural. DR. THOMAS VISITS WEBER DEVOTIONAL Dr. Thomas, President of the University of Utah, was a visitor at Weber during educational week. He addressed the students on Group Ethics;, emphasizing- the necessity of raising the standards of the group morality. He asked why it was that some men who as individuals have high moral standards, when they become members of a group allow their standards to be lowered. Speaking of war he said, "We put men in a group, send them to fight and it is heroic if they kill. I .kit if as individuals a man kills a man it is murder. Here you have a system of group ethics that is much lower than individual standards. "I am satisfied that if we are to acheive as a nation and stop war the group morality must move forward." He told of a football game in which one player bit a-nother one. "That was not good sportsmanship," he said, "yet I found that the group of student rooters were supporting' it. Their attitude was 'Get him if you have to bite his arm.' "If we are to step forward, and get on a higher plane it is necessary to have uniformity between the group standard and the personal standard."Dr Thomas then told of the effort being made at the University to raise the standard of scholarship. "The College is no place for loafers and idlers," he stated. "Don't go to College for a cheap degree; don't chase a degree but chase an education." Interclass Speaking Contests Suggested A suggestion was made by Prof. Barker that a public speaking contest between the two classes ought to be conducted throughout the year. According to present plans there are only five contests and all of these are held the same week. Another plan ought to be a-dopted by which an intellectual contest could be - held every other week throughout the entire year. Each class should choose two representatives for each contest. The general subject to be used in the contests during one quarter ought to be announced ahead giving time for all students to do research work. Three days before each contest four topics dealing with the general subject should be given to the contestants. One hour before the contest each representative should draw his specific topic and prepare his speech. There is a trophy for public speaking- which was pjesent-ed by the class of 190o. This could be awarded to the class winning the most contests during the year. By following- this plan interest in public speaking will be maintained throughout the year, hidden talent will brought out and old talent be developed. Then the real purpose of public speaking-contest would be fulfilled. It is getting so that in order to succeed these days a fellow has to keep his nose constantly to the grindstone and a girl hers to the powdcrpuff. Pinkerton's Agency of Gum Shoe Men Needed Here It is agreed that a detective agency is needed in Weber. We should establish here a branch office of the Pinker-ton's National Detective A-gency, then perhaps we would be able to control the tendency to kleptomania that leads some mysterious beings into taking possession of their neighbor's property. Confidently hanging his only overcoat on an accustomed hook in the hall, the industrious student, after a laborious days work of struggling with difficult lessons, returns to that particular hook in rather exhausted state, only to find that some invisible hand has relieved him of his warmest friend. Frantically he looks up and down the hall, rummaging among all the other coats, in short, making a thorough ransack of the hall. But it is all in vain, someone is doubtless now enjoying the warmth of his new coat. He walks dejectedly from the building, lamenting the unlucky fellow's triumph and his loss. We also hear of books walking away, never to return. Fountain pens and vanity cases are also affected with this pedestrianism which influences them to forsake their rightful owners. Someone must be very attractive to lure these various articles away from their accustomed abiding places. That there are some unknown hands at work has been evident for some time. It is up to such a Detective agency as Pinkerton's, either of home product or imported, to discover who the culprits are and bring them to justice. How I Outwitted My Personal Jinx I am not superstitious or anything like that, but you know how it is when certain instructors give certain exams in certain departments. I had expected to get by the last quarter without feeling the presence of our old, familiar friend, the English Exam Jinx. Prof. Blaylock had intimated that there would not be an examination and Pres. Tracy himself, had said as much. Imagine then the dull, sickening thud with which the Jinx settled down upon me when Prof. Blaylock calmly announced that there would be an exam in English. The jinx had come! Sins of neglect weighed heavily upon me. I had not prepared for an English exam so the night before the catastrophe I went home sick at heart. Completely overcome I sat far into the wee hours with my head in my hands. I did not have enough ambition to even try to cram. There was no use trying; the jinx was on me again and I thot I might just as well resign myself to fate. With these thoughts in my mind I took the exam the next morning. I knew that I would nut answer one question correctly. I knew that I would fail in English 1, and I did not! "By Jinx" I did not. examinations are over. GYMNASIUM READY INCREASED ENROLLMENT Weber Wins Again Trims All-Stars On Turkey Day The Purple warriors ended the 1923 grid season by trouncing an All Star city aggregation organized and captained by "Bill" Glassman. The game was not even close, although as a comical struggle . it was interesting. Only once was Weber's goal threatened. This came in the first part of the third quarter when the All Stars advanced the oval to the Purple's one foot line by Peterson's long run and a series of tackle plays by Glassman and Kennedy.At this juncture Coach Wilkinson sent in seasoned players to replace the seconds and the All Stars were thrown back and held for downs. Couch then kicked out of danger. Hales intercepted a forward pass and gained -ten yards. Then by a series of line plunges the ball was placed on the Stars' one yard line. Halliday carried it over on an off tackle play and scored the first touchdown. Smith was the big- light of the game with two touchdowns, each made thru 30 yards of Star players. The final touchdown of the season was made by Barker when he scored on an intercepted pass from Glassman. Barker also made the first touchdown of the season on an intercepted pass in the Westminster-Weber game. Glassman, Kennedy and Peterson shone for the All Stars. Line up and Summary: Hickman L. L.

Cantankerous Curse of Chlorine Concoction Pests, plagues and curses abound everywhere. Weber College enjoys her share of the noxious elements of ever' day life. Within the last two weeks the curse of chlorine has been most prevalent. Permeating thru walls and casements it has so densely collected in the halls that the Lounge Lizard's organization is now forced to obtain new chatting quarters. At times respiration has become difficult and the necessary supply of fresh air has been cut off. Numerous complaints have been made, because of the unusual amount of this odorous gas which the chemistry room has exhaled. The students have become accustomed to the smell and now are complaining that this airlike mixture gets in their eyes and affects their sight. This dreaded gas is responsible for the queer actions of the chemistry class. Even Doctor Lind is worried over the lunatic notions of these once brilliant studes. To remedy the existing conditions we suggest that the manufacture of all offensive gases take place in the boiler room. SILENCE IS GOLDEN BUT NOT IN WEBER Resolved: That the faculty should exercise their vocal organs during our devotional song fests. Constitutionality waved. Of late Prof. Manning has been surrepitiously imposing his musical ambitions upon the students in their devotional assemblies, trying to inspire them with an appreciation for good music. At times these rehearsals seem a burden impossible to bear. He is not too cautious in his use of idioms to describe the vocal powers of the unfortunate students who have to patiently sit and look dumb under this vituperation.To magnify the situation the students are requested to "chirp" openmouthed while the faculty members who can not or will not sing look on with criticizing gaze. All are guilty at times of not singing and most of the students do not "screech"' out every word of a song yet they surpass some of the faculty, who do not. even attempt to utter a musical sound. To account for their silence they may offer the excuse that they must keep their minds on weightier matters. But consider the students. Some of them are thinking of shows, some of dances, some of hearts and most of them of "eats." Their minds are compelled to leave the devotional exercises and wander to parts far distant or at least across the aisle. In. the midst of these meditations rises the gruff voice of Prof. Manning-scaring the students "half way into next week." The guilty faculty members are never startled but sit nonchalantly behind the director happy in the thot that their dumbness is not discovered.Seriously, Prof. Manning, could you not arrange some morning to have a rehearsal for the faculty members only? Then when another of these song fests are held the students will receive a little support from the older and more mature vocalists. Then of a surety the singing will be improved. An Appreciation of Physicians' Lectures It being the close of the first quarter, the members of the Home Nursing Class desire to express their appreciation for the splendid lectures and the valuable information given them by several of the prominent physicians of Ogden. On various occasions the following doctors and nurses have talked to the class: Miss Dimic of the Dee Hospital "Personal Hygiene." Dr. Conrad H. Jenson "The College Girl." Dr. J. R. Morrell gave a talk and a demonstration on "Bandaging." Dr. L. S. Merrill. "Social Diseases." Dr. R. L. Jenkins. "Communicable Disease in the Home." Dr. II. W. Nelson. "Diseases and Their Prevention." We know that it is impossible to repay them for their efforts, but we hope to profit by their suggestions, and live nearer to the instructions which they have given. Teams To Be New Gym A COLLEGE IN 1926 Can we, as students, see in the very near future a Senior College in Ogden? Can we see a group of successful students at the annual Graduation Exercises ' receiving manuscripts awarding them A. B. or A. M. degrees instead of just A. A. degrees? Can we see four strong classes working hard to make Weber Senior College a decided success? Yes! Because where Weber sees a necessity she does not stop until she has seen that necessity become a reality. Weber should be a Senior College to make Ogden grow into a real educational center. This city can rise no higher than her intellectual standard and if Ogden wants to maintain and forward the place she has held, she must have a Senior College. Therefore as a civic necessity Weber should be a Senior Col.-lege.Then, there are not enough Senior Colleges in the state of Utah. This state with as great a population as it has should have more than three Senior Colleges to give to Utah's citizens and future citizens a more efficient opportunity to obtain a college education. It is always better to have more small colleg-es than a few large ones. A professor is not always interested in the work he puts over if he has to startd in front of a class of perhaps a thousand students which are absolute strangers to him. He does not understand their purposes or ideals. There is not that personal contact between teacher and students so necessary to the life of a school. In a small school, Weber, being a first class example, the teacher is acquainted with everyone of his students. After a few weeks he begins to understand them and then has a personal interest in their welfare and a greater desire to help them. With this inspiration, he enters into his work with more enthusiastic zeal (Continued on Page 4) Aquatic Tournament To Be Held in Gym When the gym is completed the fun will begin! According to present plans one of the features of the dedicatory services of the gym wil be a swimming meet for all Weber Students, both male and female. This is to be under the auspices of the sports department and it is planned for the latter part of December. The events will consist of the following: short dashes of 20, 40, and 80 yards; the distance sw ims of 100, 140, and 180 yards; diving, plain and fancy, under water swimming and a game of water-polo between the Purples and the Whites. Swimming is a new addition to the activities of Weber and promises to be of considerable interest to most of the students. In Action In Monday The school basketball series has been organized for the coming year. Because of the scarcity of Sophomore boys there will be no class series. It has been decided that two divisions will be organized, one to be called the Purple and the other the White. Several teams will compose each division and a schedule of games will be arranged between them. Smith and Halliday will head the Purple teams among whom are Hales, Blackburn, L. Wilkinson, Zinn, Taylor, Flygare, Poulter, Rhces, Tanner, and Jacobs. Couch and E. Wilkinson wil lead the White squads composed of Halverson, Barker, McGregor, Parker, Bram-wel, Brown, Woods, and Tribe. Each team in the two divisions will be given one opportunity to defeat the faculty.From these Purple and White squads the school team will be chosen. It is expected that a strong aggregation will be formed this year as many of the veterans will appear in the harness. Games will be played with L. D. S. U., B. Y. C, Westminister, U. Frosh, and the Aggie Frosh. The second string men will form another team and play some of the surrounding high school fives. Halverson, Halliday, Blackburn, Couch, and E. Wilkinson have served on Weber's first squad in previous years while Rhees, Flygare, and L. Wilkinson have played on Weber's commercial team. Smith is the only Tiger athlete who has seen previous service. For three years he was a contender for All State High school honors so his presence on the team makes it easier to prognosticate the Weberites as the Junior College champs. Another fact that brightens our hopes for the Junior College Championship is the fact that our new Weber Gym will be ready for use on Monday, December 10. For some weeks past every effort has been made in order to get the gym floor ready for the basketball series. The time of the basketball season has come, and with it has come the fulfillment of the promise of the Board of Trustees. With the proper support from the student body we can look forward for state honors in this indoor sport. Tom Hickman Leaves For Mission Field On Saturday, December 1, Tom Hickman left to fulfill a mission to New Zealand. I (e was given a rowsing send-off at the depot by a crowd of Weber students, including the members of the football team, with whom Tom has been associated in his past years at Weber. He expressed the hope that he would be sent oil' on another mission when he returned, for he no doubt thoroughly enjoyed himself making his final "Goodbyes." English as she is broken: A popular song.

The game was not even close, although as a comical struggle . it was interesting. Only once was Weber's goal threatened. This came in the first part of the third quarter when the All Stars advanced the oval to the Purple's one foot line by Peterson's long run and a series of tackle plays by Glassman and Kennedy.At this juncture Coach Wilkinson sent in seasoned players to replace the seconds and the All Stars were thrown back and held for downs. Couch then kicked out of danger. Hales intercepted a forward pass and gained -ten yards. Then by a series of line plunges the ball was placed on the Stars' one yard line. Halliday carried it over on an off tackle play and scored the first touchdown. Smith was the big- light of the game with two touchdowns, each made thru 30 yards of Star players. The final touchdown of the season was made by Barker when he scored on an intercepted pass from Glassman. Barker also made the first touchdown of the season on an intercepted pass in the Westminster-Weber game. Glassman, Kennedy and Peterson shone for the All Stars. Line up and Summary: Hickman L. L.

Cantankerous Curse of Chlorine Concoction Pests, plagues and curses abound everywhere. Weber College enjoys her share of the noxious elements of ever' day life. Within the last two weeks the curse of chlorine has been most prevalent. Permeating thru walls and casements it has so densely collected in the halls that the Lounge Lizard's organization is now forced to obtain new chatting quarters. At times respiration has become difficult and the necessary supply of fresh air has been cut off. Numerous complaints have been made, because of the unusual amount of this odorous gas which the chemistry room has exhaled. The students have become accustomed to the smell and now are complaining that this airlike mixture gets in their eyes and affects their sight. This dreaded gas is responsible for the queer actions of the chemistry class. Even Doctor Lind is worried over the lunatic notions of these once brilliant studes. To remedy the existing conditions we suggest that the manufacture of all offensive gases take place in the boiler room. SILENCE IS GOLDEN BUT NOT IN WEBER Resolved: That the faculty should exercise their vocal organs during our devotional song fests. Constitutionality waved. Of late Prof. Manning has been surrepitiously imposing his musical ambitions upon the students in their devotional assemblies, trying to inspire them with an appreciation for good music. At times these rehearsals seem a burden impossible to bear. He is not too cautious in his use of idioms to describe the vocal powers of the unfortunate students who have to patiently sit and look dumb under this vituperation.To magnify the situation the students are requested to "chirp" openmouthed while the faculty members who can not or will not sing look on with criticizing gaze. All are guilty at times of not singing and most of the students do not "screech"' out every word of a song yet they surpass some of the faculty, who do not. even attempt to utter a musical sound. To account for their silence they may offer the excuse that they must keep their minds on weightier matters. But consider the students. Some of them are thinking of shows, some of dances, some of hearts and most of them of "eats." Their minds are compelled to leave the devotional exercises and wander to parts far distant or at least across the aisle. In. the midst of these meditations rises the gruff voice of Prof. Manning-scaring the students "half way into next week." The guilty faculty members are never startled but sit nonchalantly behind the director happy in the thot that their dumbness is not discovered.Seriously, Prof. Manning, could you not arrange some morning to have a rehearsal for the faculty members only? Then when another of these song fests are held the students will receive a little support from the older and more mature vocalists. Then of a surety the singing will be improved. An Appreciation of Physicians' Lectures It being the close of the first quarter, the members of the Home Nursing Class desire to express their appreciation for the splendid lectures and the valuable information given them by several of the prominent physicians of Ogden. On various occasions the following doctors and nurses have talked to the class: Miss Dimic of the Dee Hospital "Personal Hygiene." Dr. Conrad H. Jenson "The College Girl." Dr. J. R. Morrell gave a talk and a demonstration on "Bandaging." Dr. L. S. Merrill. "Social Diseases." Dr. R. L. Jenkins. "Communicable Disease in the Home." Dr. II. W. Nelson. "Diseases and Their Prevention." We know that it is impossible to repay them for their efforts, but we hope to profit by their suggestions, and live nearer to the instructions which they have given. Teams To Be New Gym A COLLEGE IN 1926 Can we, as students, see in the very near future a Senior College in Ogden? Can we see a group of successful students at the annual Graduation Exercises ' receiving manuscripts awarding them A. B. or A. M. degrees instead of just A. A. degrees? Can we see four strong classes working hard to make Weber Senior College a decided success? Yes! Because where Weber sees a necessity she does not stop until she has seen that necessity become a reality. Weber should be a Senior College to make Ogden grow into a real educational center. This city can rise no higher than her intellectual standard and if Ogden wants to maintain and forward the place she has held, she must have a Senior College. Therefore as a civic necessity Weber should be a Senior Col.-lege.Then, there are not enough Senior Colleges in the state of Utah. This state with as great a population as it has should have more than three Senior Colleges to give to Utah's citizens and future citizens a more efficient opportunity to obtain a college education. It is always better to have more small colleg-es than a few large ones. A professor is not always interested in the work he puts over if he has to startd in front of a class of perhaps a thousand students which are absolute strangers to him. He does not understand their purposes or ideals. There is not that personal contact between teacher and students so necessary to the life of a school. In a small school, Weber, being a first class example, the teacher is acquainted with everyone of his students. After a few weeks he begins to understand them and then has a personal interest in their welfare and a greater desire to help them. With this inspiration, he enters into his work with more enthusiastic zeal (Continued on Page 4) Aquatic Tournament To Be Held in Gym When the gym is completed the fun will begin! According to present plans one of the features of the dedicatory services of the gym wil be a swimming meet for all Weber Students, both male and female. This is to be under the auspices of the sports department and it is planned for the latter part of December. The events will consist of the following: short dashes of 20, 40, and 80 yards; the distance sw ims of 100, 140, and 180 yards; diving, plain and fancy, under water swimming and a game of water-polo between the Purples and the Whites. Swimming is a new addition to the activities of Weber and promises to be of considerable interest to most of the students. In Action In Monday The school basketball series has been organized for the coming year. Because of the scarcity of Sophomore boys there will be no class series. It has been decided that two divisions will be organized, one to be called the Purple and the other the White. Several teams will compose each division and a schedule of games will be arranged between them. Smith and Halliday will head the Purple teams among whom are Hales, Blackburn, L. Wilkinson, Zinn, Taylor, Flygare, Poulter, Rhces, Tanner, and Jacobs. Couch and E. Wilkinson wil lead the White squads composed of Halverson, Barker, McGregor, Parker, Bram-wel, Brown, Woods, and Tribe. Each team in the two divisions will be given one opportunity to defeat the faculty.From these Purple and White squads the school team will be chosen. It is expected that a strong aggregation will be formed this year as many of the veterans will appear in the harness. Games will be played with L. D. S. U., B. Y. C, Westminister, U. Frosh, and the Aggie Frosh. The second string men will form another team and play some of the surrounding high school fives. Halverson, Halliday, Blackburn, Couch, and E. Wilkinson have served on Weber's first squad in previous years while Rhees, Flygare, and L. Wilkinson have played on Weber's commercial team. Smith is the only Tiger athlete who has seen previous service. For three years he was a contender for All State High school honors so his presence on the team makes it easier to prognosticate the Weberites as the Junior College champs. Another fact that brightens our hopes for the Junior College Championship is the fact that our new Weber Gym will be ready for use on Monday, December 10. For some weeks past every effort has been made in order to get the gym floor ready for the basketball series. The time of the basketball season has come, and with it has come the fulfillment of the promise of the Board of Trustees. With the proper support from the student body we can look forward for state honors in this indoor sport. Tom Hickman Leaves For Mission Field On Saturday, December 1, Tom Hickman left to fulfill a mission to New Zealand. I (e was given a rowsing send-off at the depot by a crowd of Weber students, including the members of the football team, with whom Tom has been associated in his past years at Weber. He expressed the hope that he would be sent oil' on another mission when he returned, for he no doubt thoroughly enjoyed himself making his final "Goodbyes." English as she is broken: A popular song.
